Benevolence values derive from the basic requirement for smooth group functioning (cf.
Kluckhohn, 1951) and from the organismic need for affiliation (cf. Maslow, 1965). Most
critical are relations within the family and other primary groups. Benevolence values
emphasize voluntary concern for others’ welfare. (helpful, honest, forgiving, responsible,
loyal, true friendship, mature love) [sense of belonging, meaning in life, a spiritual life].
